Hey, I'm 2 mins up the road from you if you want me to go lol

Joking apart, i think you can only judge him from when you met him and how he was with you. If you think he can be a good client and bring something to your business then give him another chance -- just the one! If not then I wouldn't go

Thanks Annie23 really felt the back up from you and thanks to jcpark too for your thoughts...I think the topic was drifting abit lol

Thanks so much - Back on track and back in the room lol

Hi, I just replied on your other post before I realised there was a new thread started, I agree with the comments on your website pictures, they could be taken the wrong way even though there is nothing really on show.. if it were me I would change them

I had a text from a guy telling me I had lovely feet once!! this was when I used to do nails and had pics of nail art on my site... he didnt know they were my feet, he just assumed - and believe me they aren't lovely! lol, they are hobbit feet!!

There are some strange people in this world...

Hi Kimbers

If you do spray this client again - why not get your boyfriend to go with you and set up for you - That will give him something to think about !!- especially if his intentions are anything other than looking bronzed!!

I agree with the many posts - keep a professional distance. Forget the text- phone him and speak to him directly about your hours of business and politely remind him that you don't answer calls outside of the hours of ------ etc.
Texting can be quite anonymous - people can be brave and wouldn't dare say half the stuff face to face or or on the phone.

I would go with your instincts on this one - you'll probably be right.

I would definately take someone with you as an 'assistant 'though if you do spray him again..

Meriden xx

I just wouldn't spray him when he makes you feel so uncomfortable.. good luck on what you decide. x

Have read thru all the posts about this and I agree with you he does come across as weird! but it may not be in a dangerous weird way, I get guys like this also, In my honest opinion I think he's trying to push his luck to see how you react, By having met you he obviously knows by now that it is you on the website. (love the pics, very arty but I also agree maybe not good to sell your tanning this way) I would consider cropping the pics to not include your face, that way it could be anyone modelling.
If you do want to tan him then set the ground rules with him, say it's not appropriate to text the way you are, once we've agreed on date and time that's all that's needed! and please do not text out of hours. I find that being firm but fair is usually the best way (look at my last weird guy in, he definitely got the message )

If all this doesn't seem to get the message across.....Like someone else said take your fiance in with you.

Or better still train your fiance up real quick, claim you're ill at the last minute and send him in to do the tan.............. you'll soon know if it's about you or the tan

Either way good luck

What i always live by myself and what i drum into my daughter and son for that matter is if something doesn't feel right then usually it isn't.We have these gut instincts and then choose to ignore them or make all kinds of excuses why we choose to ignore them.If you feel something is not quite right with this guy then i would stay well away.
Sometimes it takes one smile at someone for them to become fixated with you as they read all sorts of things into it and once someone gets like that trying to get rid of them can be an absolute nightmare,they can make themselves at the least a nuisance and at worst a danger.

I think he just sounds like a very lonely man actually. I have a (female) client who is the same, I have had texts from her at 3am before. I just ignore them, but she still does it.
Other than the time, I don't think there was anything wrong with his message at all. Perhaps it's just his way of double checking things are still ok with his appointment?
Don't write him off just yet, but if he is making you feel uncomfortable at all then I would reconsider. Hope it all turns out ok

UPDATE!! LOL - I must sound like a pain in the backside with this so apologies and thanks to everyone who gave their advise

Decided to go ahead with the appointment - Took my fiance with me again, we went in separate cars this time as we wanted to see if this guy was just behaving himself as such because he knew my fiance was waiting outside in the car last time!

So, the idea was for him to see me arrive on my own (incase he was outside like last time) and he was again (putting something in boot of his car) I felt this was a good idea so he knew (or thought) I was on my own and wanted to see if he would say or do anything out of turn (with him being naked too) if he thought I was on my own.

My fiance stayed back in his own car until I went in then he pulled forward just behind my car and waited for me.

I tanned him in the garage again! lol but he had made more space for me this time (I knew he was decorating so I guess hes not wanting me to see wallpaper off walls etc! Even though he was happy to go nude - but whatever! lol)

He was fine as he was the first time though he did like just standing there completely naked chatting away to me! No dressing gown in sight!!

Maybe he is an exhibitionist I don't know! I casually mentioned to him about his texts - said something like - you seem very unsure about your appointment once you have made it blah blah blah he just said sorry I just like to make sure....some people are not happy about me wanting a naked tan etc I just told him personally I don't mind, for me its however comfy the customer feels - girls for eg might want to go nude, or just topless or not go topless at all so each to their own.

ANYWAY lol it went fine again but later on that night he text again about 10pm at night (again) saying ''The tan looks great. Thankyou. See u in a couple of weeks. Pleased u didnt mind me being nude.''

I know I must sound like I'm contradicting myself because one min he's freaking me out with these texts then the next min he's more than polite when I tan him!

I think I will put this to bed now as I'll be going round in circles with this one I think lol

Thanks again for everyones input - just wanted to let you know how I got on

He seems like a generally weird person....some people are just strange like that and dont even realise it
x

Sounds like he is just quite shy, you'll never know but the main thing is it was all ok and it sounds like he will become a regular too

He does sound very lonely to me, like you're his bit of human contact - or like he's an exhibitionist or whatever and likes the feeling of being naked in front of you

Personally, if you're still feeling odd about him I'd sack him off (politely), you can't be umming and aahing about whether he's going to do something creepy every 3 weeks or so.

^^^That comment would weird me out a bit. TBH why is he bothering with a naked tan, surely it doesn't take on his dinkle anyways.

Hi Kimbers,
I'm so glad you posted and update. I was wondering how it went. He sounds harmless to me, though perhaps a little different to the norm.
Not every thing we do is as it seems & we tend to put our own spin on other people's actions.
Fact is he is very friendly and chatty when you work on him & doesn't over step the boundaries. The only way he is stepping out of line is by texting you out of business hours and not for business things (not exactly anyway) - and that is easily remedied. Just don't reply to his texts unless it's necessary. In all honesty he can send as many texts as he likes and you just reply during business hours and keep it professional.
He's probably very glad to have found a therapist who values his business & doesn't run a mile b/c he's different

I would carry on as normal, but still be very very cautious,for quite a while, some people like to build up a trusting nature ? ( dont know if thats the right way to explain ?) and in the next conversation maybe mention that you are going to get your fella trained up aswell, just for cover incase you are ill one day and that you might want your client to be sprayed by your fella for experience
